<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">It's the season for blazing fireplaces, flickering candles, <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/">hot drinks</a>, warm showers, woolen blankets, and maximum warmth. What exactly is peak coziness, you might wonder? Peak Coziness is not only a feeling that can be experienced when the temperature drops but the feeling of contentment and well-being felt through doing the simple things in life. Or as the Danish people call it &ldquo;<a href="https://www.visitdenmark.com/denmark/highlights/hygge/what-hygge">Hygge</a>&rdquo;. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">If you are enjoying the perfect cup of hot chocolate on a rainy day or snuggling up with a good book and a warm blanket. You have experienced &ldquo;Hygge&rdquo; without even knowing it. Hygge isn't a concept; it's a way of life, and we are in a never-ending quest to achieve it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">What freedom means to us Americans, Hygge means to the Danes, and it's one of the reasons they're known as the world's happiest people. But don't worry, I've compiled a list of what they do so you may learn more about this amazing way of life.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Set The Environment:</span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">The first step to achieving ultimate coziness is to set the atmosphere. Hygge is incomplete without candles. Americans think burning a candle is all the way down a fire hazard. On the other hand, candles are a must-have in every Danish room. Buy a heavily <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Scented-Candles-Birthday-Aromatherapy-Lavender/dp/B08MXS5B8M/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3P0IMNE8P4DK3&amp;keywords=scented+long-lasting+candle&amp;qid=1643296971&amp;sprefix=scented+long-lasting+candle%2Caps%2C271&amp;sr=8-7">scented long-lasting candle</a>, it will instantly bring a sense of tranquility to your space and your home will feel calm and romantic.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/344/375/original/Set_the_Environment.jpg?1643297814" alt="" width="640" height="412" /></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Dim The Lights:</span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">As bright light intensifies mood, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/A19-Changing-Control-Function-Dimmable/dp/B007V1VOI8/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=dim+light+bulbs&amp;qid=1643300293&amp;sprefix=dim+light%2Caps%2C314&amp;sr=8-2-spons&amp;psc=1&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFKVDFIV0RHRFZXNzYmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1MTY4MzgyTDNIWTBaTjcyMUhKJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1NjM3NTVCSDlYM0RPOEU2OFgmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl">dim lights</a> keep your emotions steady. Colored lighting may also improve a space's aesthetic by complementing or changing how we sense the environment. If you want to set an environment as staying-in-cozy-day-no-work, then use dusk, moonlight, fireplace light, or just the candle lights in your room.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/344/376/original/Dim_the_lights.jpg?1643298875" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Fill Your Space With Pillows And Blankets:</span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">All you need is 1 blanket and 2 pillows. The lesser-known ingredients to a cozy space. Snuggle in, cuddle up with a <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18144590-the-alchemist">good book</a> and enjoy your day!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/344/377/original/Fill_Your_Space_With_Pillows_And_Blankets.jpg?1643298897" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Unplug From Technology:</span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: windowtext;">We check our <a href="https://www.apple.com/iphone/">phones</a> every 5 mins. Not only our phones, but every device we own is our lifeline. The last thing you want to do is stress overwork messages. Today&rsquo;s definition of relaxation is turning on <a href="https://www.netflix.com/">Netflix</a> and binge-watching a season. Screens can increase stress and anxiety without us noticing. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: windowtext;">It&rsquo;s healthy to lock away all your devices for a day to lower your stress levels and fully unwind.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: windowtext;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/344/378/original/Unplug_From_Technology.jpg?1643298906" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">A Cup Of Tea Goes A Long Way!</span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">Wrapped in a cozy blanket with a hot cup of tea, doesn&rsquo;t it sound relaxing? Spend the entire day unwinding so that you can be alert and motivated for the next day.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/344/379/original/A_cup_of_tea_goes_a_long_way!.jpg?1643298939" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;">You can achieve hygge anywhere as it's all about the mindset and the love you put into a moment. These are just to give you a hint on how to be in a completely comfortable environment and to spend quality time with yourself.</span></span></p>
